(OBQ10.167)
A 5-year-old boy develops spontaneous atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation shortly after an upper respiratory infection. No neurologic symptoms are present. He is initially treated with soft collar immobilization and rest. After a week, he continues to hold his head tilted and rotated with no change in his neurologic status. A current cervical radiograph is shown in Figure A. What is the next most appropriate treatment option for this patient?
